one of the indisputable leaders of the jazz vanguard, coltrane, ever the talent scout and tastemaker as much the leading tenor saxophonist of his time, assembled the proper personnel and conceptual vision that would carry the avant-garde into the 1970s with his growing ethereality, abstraction and ever-playful experimental mastery. while much stress has been laid on his most abrasive free-jazz leanings, coltrane had, by no means, abandoned the dynamic relationship with melody that the standard-forebears had drilled into him from his early years, and he was one of the first to see the possibility of combining dissonant investigation with the warm directness and immediacy of intricate melodic composition. coltrane's span of albums from "ol colltrane" to "cosmic music" rolled out the red carpet that protege's - sanders, cherry and his second wife alice - and strange newcomers alike would triumphantly parade across for the next 10 years, defining what would be later coined 'spiritual jazz'. and while historical might is always noted with special admiration in the critical review of our 20th century music, it is the immediate emotional and expressive vivacity of his music that shines through.
